PREFACE. 


The  original  plan  of  the  Anglo-Jewish  Historical  Exhibition  (the 
idea  of  which  was  started  by  Mr.  I.  Spielman,  the  Hon.  Secretary) 
was  to  bring  together  all  objects  illustrating  the  history  of  the 
Jews  in  England.  It  was  however  soon  determined  to  add  to  this 
illustrations  of  Jewish  ecclesiastical  art,  both  in  this  country  and 
abroad.  And  when  thej  offers  of  exhibits  came  in,  so  many 
interesting  objects  were  offered  illustrating  Jewish  antiquities  of 
nearly  all  times  and  countries,  that  the  scope  of  the  Exhibition 
was  further  extended  to  include  these.  Thus  the  following 
Catalogue  of  objects  is  divided  into  three  parts,  dealing  respec- 
tively with  exhibits  illustrating  Anglo-Jewish  history,  objects 
used  in  Jewish  culture,  and  MSS.  and  other  antiquities  throwing 
light  on  Jewish  life  and  thought  generally. 

This  extension  of  the  scope  of  the  Exhibition  has  prevented  the 
full  display  of  all  the  objects  sent  in ;  these,  however,  have  been 
entered  in  the  Catalogue,  so  that  it  should  preserve  within  its 
covers  a  record  of  all  the  objects  illustrating  Anglo- Jewish  history 
to  be  found  in  this  country.  By  the  kindness  of  the  Deputy 
Keeper  of  the  Record  Office,  and  of  the  Trustees  of  the  British 
Museum,  and  of  the  South  Kensington  Museum,  supplementary 
exhibitions  are  being  held  at  those  buildings  ;  catalogues  of  these 
are  appended  to  the  present  one. 

In  one  direction  it  was  found  impossible  to  catalogue  all  the 
objects  sent  in.  The  number  of  books  submitted  was  so  largo 
and  yet,  from  the  bibliographical  point  of  view,  so  incomplete, 
that  it  was  decided  to  display  only  a  selection,  and  only  to  cata- 
logue those  specially  exhibited.  At  the  same  time,  the  Executive 
Committee  has  entrusted  to  the  editors  of  the  present  Catalogue 
the  task  of  compiling  a  complete  bibliography  of  Anglo-Jewish 
history  and  literature.     This  is  now  ready  for  the  press,  and  will 


xxvi  Preface. 

shortly  be  published  under  the  title  of  Bihliotheca  Anglo- Judaica.  It 
is  contemplated  adding  to  this  the  names  of  those  who  have  kindly 
forwarded  books  to  bo  exhibited,  and  to  indicate  by  numbers  the 
books  thus  forwarded.  The  Catalogue  and  Bibliography  will 
thus,  between  them,  contain  as  full  an  account  as  possible  of  all 
the  materials  for  Anglo-Jewish  history. 

In  the  comi^ilation  of  the  present  Catalogue  we  have  to 
acknowledge  the  assistance  of  Mr.  W.  Chaffers,  F.S.A.,  in  the 
technical  description  of  the  gold  and  silver  plate,  and  of  Mr.  H. 
Montagu,  F.S.A,  Vice-President  Numismatic  Society,  for  the 
Catalogue  of  Coins  for  which  he  has  kindly  made  himself 
responsible.  Mr.  C.  Trice  Martin  has  been  good  enough  to  draw 
up  the  Catalogue  of  the  Documents  at  the  Eecord  Office  selected 
for  exhibition,  and  Mr.  E.  Maunde  Thompson  has  superintended  the 
description  of  the  Charters  and  MSS.  shown  by  the  Manuscript 
Department  of  the  British  Museum.  We  have  to  express  our 
cordial  acknowledgment  for  aid  which  has  materially  lightened 
the  task  of  describing  so  many  objects  appealing  to  such  varied 
tastes  and  requiring  such  a  wide  range  of  technical  knowledge. 
The  shortness  of  time  which  an  exhibition  affords  for  the  compila- 
tion of  a  catalogue  must  be  our  excuse  for  anj^  errors  into  which 
we  have  fallen.  We  would  add  that,  with  regard  to  the  trans- 
literation of  Hebrew  words,  we  have,  for  the  convenience  of  the 
ordinary  visitor,  retained  the  system,  or  want  of  system,  current 
among  English  Jews.

I.— HISTORIC   RELICS   AND  RECORDS. 


The  history  of  the  Jews  in  England  is  divided  into  two  marked  sections  hy 
the  dates  1290  and  1656  ;  at  the  former  they  were  expelled,  at  the  latter 
they  began  to  be  readmitted.  Their  connection  \vith  the  general  history 
was  entirely  different  in  the  two  periods.  In  the  Norman  and  Angevin 
periods  they  formed  a  body  closely  connected  with  the  government  of  the 
country  and  constituting  an  integral  part  of  its  financial  system.  Since  the 
re-admission  they  have  been  one  among  various  bodies  of  Dissenters  from  the 
National  Church,  and  as  such  their  political  history  has  been  closely 
connected  with  that  of  Dissent  in  general.  In  both  periods,  however,  their 
religious  viewa  have  been  a  determining  factor  as  regards  their  social  position, 
and,  as  will  be  seen,  it  was  entirely  their  creed  that  determined  their 
anomalous  position  in  medijeval  England. 

The  history  of  the  English  Jews  before  the  Expulsion  may  be  shortly 
summarised  as  a  financial  experiment  of  the  Norman  kings,  which  was 
rendered  necessary  by  the  policy  of  the  Church  towards  "  usury,"  but  which 
was  ultimately  rendered  impossible  by  its  costly  character  and  by  the  rise  of 
popular  religious  feeling  due  to  the  Crusades  and  the  Friars.  Before  the  Con- 
quest there  is  no  trace  of  Jews  in  England  beyond  a  few  clauses  in  Church 
documents  which  might  easily  have  been  copied  from  similar  ones  in  Con- 
tinental deeds.  But  when  England  was  added  to  those  countries  of  the 
European  littoral  which  were  being  organised  by  the  Normans,  it  was  by 
special  invitation  of  William  that  the  Jews  came  from  Kouen.  The  function 
they  had  to  play  was  a  double  one.  On  the  one  hand,  the  contact  of  England 
with  the  Continent  brought  about  a  change  in  the  economic  system  from  one 
of  barter  to  one  in  which  large  amounts  of  capital  were  needed,  especially  for 
the  change  in  architecture  from  Avood  to  stone  buildings.  This  capital  could 
not  be  forthcoming  from  any  but  Jews,  owing  to  the  principle  of  the  Canon 
Law  which  forbade  the  loan  of  money  on  interest  by  any  one  under  its 
ecclesiastical  jurisdiction.  On  the  other  hand,  the  king  was  the  largest  capitalist 
in  the  country,  and  though  it  is  a  moot  point  how  far  the  money  lent  by  the 
Jews  was  actually  the  king's  in  the  first  instance,  there  is  no  doubt  tliat  the 
Exchequer  treated  the  money  of  the  Jews  as  held  at  the  pleasure  of  the  king. 
There  was  a  special  "  Exchequer  of  the  Jews,"  presided  over  by  special 
"  Justices  of  the  Jews,"  and  all  the  deeds  of  the  Jews  had  to  be  placed  in 
charge  of  exchequer  officers,  or  else  they  ceased  to  be  legal  documents. 
They  thus  formed  a  kind  of  sponge  which  first  drained  the  country  dry  owing 
to  the  monopoly  of  capitalist  transactions  given  them  by  the  Canon  Law,  and 
then  could  be  squeezed  into  the  Royal  Treasury.  How  important  their 
contributions  to  this  were  may  be  judged  from  the  fact  that  on  one  occasion 
the  tallage  of  the  Jews  reached  60,000  marks  against  70,000  supplied  by  the

rest  of  the  country.  There  was  scarcely  an  important  building  iu  the  country 
which  was  not  raised  by  means  of  Jcwisli  caiiital.  Their  operations  were 
not  confined  to  the  large  towns,  as  has  been  usually  supposed.  One  of  the 
facts  brought  out  in  investigations  inidertakcn  in  connection  with  the 
present  Exhibition  has  been  their  wide-spread  dispersion  throughout  all  the 
settled  parts  of  England.  (See  Map,  No.  519,  to  which  some  twenty  further 
places  could  be  added  if  they  did  not  elude  identification.) 

Such  a  system  of  indirect  taxation  could  not  fail  to  be  enormously 
exixjnsive.  In  order  that  Jews  should  lend  money,  they  had  to  possess  it, 
and  this  involved  keeping  a  large  number  of  persons  (amounting  at  the 
Expulsion  to  nearly  one  per  cent,  of  the  ^wpulation)  in  affluence.  But  there 
was  another  influence  which  prevented  the  Jews  from  assimilating  with  the 
]>eople  of  a  coimtry  established  on  the  feudal  principle,  that  citizenship 
involved  spiritual  communion.  They  could  not  enter  the  guilds  which  were 
foimded  on  a  religious  basis,  and  their  possession  of  land  was  expressly 
opposed  by  the  monks  on  the  ground  that  this  would  put  into  their  hands 
spiritual  benefices.  Their  social  isolation  was  intensified  by  the  hatred  with 
which  they  were  regarded  as  the  arch-enemies  of  the  Church,  the  sole 
exception  to  the  consensus  of  Europe  in  favour  of  Christian  doctrine.  It  is 
characteristic  that  the  chief  outbreak  of  popular  fury  against  them — the 
heroic  episode  of  York  Castle — took  place  when  the  Crusading  fever  reached 
its  height  in  England,  and  that  the  Expulsion  took  place  imder  the  king  who, 
after  Richard  I.,  was  most  imbued  with  the  Crusading  spirit.  Nor  were  the 
Jews  uninfluenced  by  the  same  spirit ;  it  is  recorded  that  in  1211  no  less  than 
three  hundred  Eabbis  of  France  and  England  started  for  a  pilgrimage  to 
the  Holy  Land. 

The  worsening  of  the  condition  of  the  Jews  can  be  distinctly  traced  to 
the  religious  revival  in  England  due  to  the  Franciscans.  The  Lateran 
Council  of  1215  accentuated  the  isolation  of  the  Jews  by  ordering  them  to 
wear  a  distinctive  mark,  which  in  England  took  the  characteristic  form  of  a 
piece  of  cloth  attached  to  the  upper  garment,  in  the  shape  of  the  two 
tablets  of  the  Law  as  seen  in  the  synagogues  to  the  present  day  (see  No.  14). 
Synagogues  in  many  instances  were  handed  over  to  the  Church  on  trivial 
pretexts.  There  is  some  indication  that  the  enmity  of  the  Church  was 
embittered  by  the  spread  of  Judaism  among  certain  classes.  One  Jewish  list 
of  martyrs  includes  twenty-two  proselytes  burnt  in  England,  and  even  if  the 
number  be  exaggerated,  there  is  other  evidence  of  Jewish  proselytism  in 
England.  The  Church  met  the  movement  by  establishing  a  conversionist 
establishment  in  "  New  Street,"  on  the  site  of  the  present  Record  Office  (see 
No.  11),  where  converts  were  supported  for  life ;  this  building  was  used  for  the 
purpose  down  to  the  time  of  Charles  II.  (see  Public  Record  Exhibits,  No.  50), 
and  thus  gave  evidence  of  Jews  in  England  at  all  periods  from  the  Expulsion 
to  the  re-admission. 

The  time  came  when  the  need  of  a  special  class  of  capitalists  and  of  the 
special  kind  of  taxation  was  no  longer  felt.  From  that  moment  the  fate  of 
the  Jews  in  England  was  fixed,  and  it  came  significantly  enough  in  the 
extension  of  the  Canon  Law  about  usury  to  the  Jews,  in  the  first  Parliament 
of  Edward  I.,  immediately  after  his  return  from  the  Holy  Land  (see  Brit. 


Introduction. 


Mus.  Exhibits,  No.  33).  When  usury  was  denied  to  the  Jews,  they  ceased 
to  have  a  locus  standi  in  the  country.  They  could  not  hold  land,  nor  enter 
any  trade,  owing  to  their  religion  ;  and  to  have  rescinded  these  restrictions 
argued  an  amount  of  toleration  impossible  to  expect  in  a  European  countrj^ 
in  the  Middle  Ages.  The  Expulsion  of  1290  followed  logically  on  the  anti- 
usury  enactment  of  1275,  and  we  can  only  conjecture  that  the  intermediate 
jieriod  was  filled  with  the  necessary  rearrangement  of  the  national  finances, 
which  chiefly  took  the  form  of  substituting  for  the  Jews,  Cahorsins,  and  Italians, 
who  had  not  the  religious  difficvilties.  It  is  right  to  add  that  as  far  as  their 
anomalous  position  admitted  of  it,  scrupulous  justice  was  done  to  Jews  in 
their  negotiations ;  and  that  the  ordinary  idea  of  their  general  ill-treatment  is 
based  on  a  few  popular  outbreaks  uncontrollable  by  the  authorities.  Their 
lX)sition,  as  unofficial  tax-gatherers,  ensured  their  general  good  treatment  on 
the  part  of  the  kings,  excej^t  in  the  case  of  John.  The  inherent  difficulty 
of  the  Jewish  position  in  England  during  this  period  was  the  difference  of 
creed,  which  prevented  their  belonging  to  the  nation  unless  they  belonged  to 
the  National  Church.  To  expect  the  Church  to  have  contravened  this  funda- 
mental principle  would  be  to  anticipate  history  by  six  centuries.  To  expect 
the  Jews  to  renounce  their  creed  would  be  to  neglect  the  experience  ot 
twenty  centuries.  The  two  positions  were  irreconcilable,  and  the  Jews  had 
to  leave  England  when  the  law  of  the  Churqh  was  extended  to  them. 

The  relics  of  their  stay,  collected  in  the  present  Exhibition,  are  exceedingly 
scanty,  as  is  natural  when  we  reflect  how  few  remains  there  are  prior  to  the 
fourteenth  century.  A  few  stone  dwelling-houses  (Nos.  5  to  9),  which 
the  Jews  were  about  the  first  to  build,  a  few  local  names,  a  couple  of  cari- 
catures in  which  Jews  are  characteristically  enough  represented  as  "  sons 
of  the  devil"  (Nos.  14,  15),  and  a  bronze  ewer  (No.  1),  almost  exhaust 
the  list.  A  grammatical  work  (No.  515),  some  Hebrew  poems,  by  Meir  of 
Norwich,  now  in  the  Vatican,  and  a  couple  of  works  of  an  eminent  Spanish 
Jew,  Abraham  ibn  Ezra,  written  while  in  the  "  island  of  the  corner  of  the 
earth"  ( =  Angleterre),  are  the  sole  records  of  their  literary  activity.  But 
from  their  quasi-official  position,  it  is  natural  that  the  chief  records  should  be 
in  the  public  documents  of  the  time.  There  is  scarcely  a  single  one  of  these 
before  1290  that  has  not  some  reference  to  Jews;  and  there  were  also 
whole  series  of  rolls  devoted  exclusively  to  the  pleadings  and  tallages  of 
the  Jews  (Record  Office  Exhibits,  No.  3).  Besides  these  there  are  still 
extant  more  than  two  hundred  Hebrew  documents  termed  Shetaroth,*  which 
are  nearly  all  shown  in  the  present  Exhibition.  As  these  form  our  only  guide 
to  the  inner  life  of  the  Jewish  communities  at  the  time,  albeit  mainly  confined 
to  their  legal  relations,  the  Committee  of  the  Exhibition  has  entrusted  their 
publication,  together  with  English  abstracts,  to  Mr.  M.  D.  Davis,  who  has 
made  the  subject  a  life-long  study.

that  the  Star  Chamber  received  its  name  from  having  been  the  receptacle  of  these 
documents,  and  it  is  difficult  to  see  how  such  a  tradition  could  have  arisen  without 
foundation^in  fact,  whereas  the  camera  stellata  can  be  easily  enough  explained  as  a 
folk-etymology  of  this.

I. — Historic  Selics  and  Records. 


Before  leaving  this  section  of  Anglo-Jewish  history,  we  may  refer  to  the 
impression  left  on  the  jwpular  mind  by  the  jwculiar  position  of  the  Jews. 
Eeligious  opposition  fixed  upon  the  Jews  crimes  which  the  same  principle  had 
attributed  to  the  early  Christians ;  and  the  crime  of  child  murder  for  ritual 
purposes  was  first  brought  against  the  Jews  in  England.  The  charge  was 
undoubtedly  believed  in,  and  many  Jews  sufi"ered  for  it ;  but  modern  cases 
Lave  shown  its  utter  baselessness,  which  also  comes  out  on  careful  exami- 
nation of  the  original  records.  But  the  combined  ideas  of  cruelty  and 
usury  become  connoted  with  the  name  of  Jew  in  the  popular  mind,  and 
have  been  made  a  part  of  English  literature  by  Marlowe  and  Shakesjxjare. 
Strangely  enough,  perhaps  the  most  enduiing  survival  of  the  pre-Expulsiou 
period  ii?-  the  popular  impression  that  all  Jews  are  rich  usurers — a  proposition 
roughly  true  of  that  periotl,  but  ludicrously  beside  the  fact  at  the  present  day, 
in  a  community  which  unfortunately  has  a  larger  proix)rtion  of  poor  than  any 
other  in  England. 

Though  the  Jews  were  thus  expelled  the  realm,  we  have  traces  of  them 
in  England  in  one  fonn  or  another  during  the  interim.  We  find  in  the 
fourteenth  century  the  Commons  complaining  that  many  professing  to  te 
Italians  were  in  realitj'-  Jews.  In  the  fifteenth  the  Spanish  ambassador 
complains  to  Henry  YII.  of  the  asylum  afforded  the  expelled  Spanish  Jews 
in  England,  and  in  the  sixteenth  Elizabeth's  physician,  Eodrigo  Loi)ez,  and 
P.  Ferdinandus,  teacher  of  Hebrew  at  Cambridge,  were  among  Jews  known 
to  be  in  this  country.  And  throughout,  the  "  House  of  Converts "  found  a 
supply  of  men  and  women  ready  to  forswear  their  faith  for  the  material 
comforts  it  offered  them.  But  no  return  of  the  Jews  as  a  body  could  become 
possible  till  the  State  recognised  the  legality  of  difference  of  creed.  Cromwell 
first  did  this  as  an  Independent,  and  it  is  to  Cromwell  that  the  Jews  owe 
their  readmission  to  England. 

The  date  of  the  return  is  fixed  approximately  by  the  lease  of  the  Spanish 
and  Portuguese  burial-ground  at  Stepnej',  dated  February  1657  (see  No.  52). 
Except  with  regard  to  the  specific  nature  of  the  assurances  given  to  the  Jews 
by  Cromwell,  the  events  which  led  up  to  the  resettlement  are  tolerably  clear. 
The  motives  of  the  Dutch  supporters  of  Menasseh  ben  Israel  Avere  mainly 
commercial.  The  agitation  against  the  monopoly  of  the  companies  of  Eastern 
merchants  in  England,  and  the  attempts  of  Cromw-ell  to  render  the  trade 
free,  had  stimulated  a  new  activity  on  the  part  of  English  shippers,  and,  in 
the  middle  of  the  seventeenth  century,  the  Dutch  were  feeling  acutely  the 
commercial  competition  of  the  English  in  the  East  Indies.  None  were  more 
deeply  interested  in  that  branch  of  trade  than  the  Jews  of  Amsterdam,  and 
hence  it  became  desirable  for  them  to  be  able  to  establish  correspondents  and 
agencies  in  England  without  hindrances  or  risk.  At  the  same  time  events 
had  been  preparing  the  English  people  to  consider  the  question  of  the  return 
in  a  favourable  spirit.  The  Puritans  had  given  an  Old  Testament  bias  to 
Christian  thought,  and  the  Messianic  pretensions  of  Sabbathai  Zevi  had 
helped  to  strengthen  the  conviction  that  some  kind  of  fulfilment  of  prophecy 
by  means  of  the  Jew's  was  at  hand.  The  question  how  to  propitiate  the  Jews 
exercised  men's  minds,  and  in  1649  culminated  in  a  formal  petition  to  Lord 
Fairfax  and  the  General  Council  of  Officers  for  their  recall.    It  is  stated  that 


Introduction. 


this  petition  was  "  favourably  received  "  (see  Xo.  820).  No  action  resulted 
from  it,  however,  but  during  the  next  few  years  the  question  seems  to  have 
been  continuously  before  the  public.  Towards  the  end  of  1655  Menasseh 
ben  Israel  (see  No.  947),  who,  from  his  home  in  Amsterdam,  had  sent  more 
than  one  communication  to  the  Protector  and  other  leading  men  in  England, 
personally  visited  London  with  a  view  to  obtaining  an  authoritative  jDermis- 
sion  for  his  co-religionists  to  dwell  again  in  that  country.  The  course  of  his 
mission  is  marked  in  the  State  papers  and  other  documents  shown  in  the 
supplementary  exhibitions  held  at  the  Record  Office  and  the  British  Museum 
(see  R.  0.  Nos.  37  to  43 ;  B.  M.  No.  36).  Notwithstanding  the  personal 
interest  of  Cromwell,  no  formal  permission  was  granted  by  the  Council  of 
State  for  the  Jews  to  take  up  their  abode  in  England ;  but  some  unofficial 
authorisation  was  obtained  from  the  Protector  by  which  Menasseh's  followers 
were  enabled  to  meet  privately  for  prayer  (see  E.  0.  No.  43),  and  to  acquire 
a  burial-place.  Without  such  a  licence  it  is  obvious  that  they  would  not 
have  purchased  the  Stepney  graveyard,  to  which  reference  has  been  made. 

The  history  from  this  date  divides  itself  into  two  parts — an  external  and 
and  an  internal  history ;  the  former  recording  the  successive  stages  in  the 
struggle  for  emancipation,  the  latter  tracing  the  gradual  growth,  organisation, 
and  development  of  the  community.  From  the  nature  of  the  connivance 
by  which  the  Jews  had  settled  in  the  country  their  position  was  at  first 
equivocal  and  precarious.  They  were  both  aliens  and  dissenters,  and,  as  such, 
liable  to  all  kinds  of  petty  persecution  at  the  hands  of  common  informers. 
Their  individual  denization  was  opposed  by  the  mercantile  public ;  they 
were  indicted  for  worshipping  in  the  synagogue,  and  on  one  occasian  (1685) 
a  crowd  of  them  were  arrested  at  the  Royal  Exchange  for  not  attending 
church.  As  late  as  1835,  not  only  could  no  Jew  sit  in  Parliament,  but  he 
was  prevented  from  holding  any  civil  or  military  office  under  the  Crown  or 
any  situation  in  corporate  bodies.  Pie  might  be  excluded  from  practising  at 
the  bar,  or  as  an  attorney  or  notary,  from  voting  at  elections,  and  from  taking 
degrees  at  the  Universities. 

The  first  legislative  attempts  at  partial  emancipation  were  made  outside 
England — in  the  American  colonies  and  Ireland.  In  1740  an  Act  of  Parlia- 
ment was  passed  providing  for  the  naturalisation  of  foreigners  and  others, 
including  Jews,  after  seven  years'  residence  in  British  colonies.  This  measure 
was  hampered  by  so  many  restrictions  and  conditions  that  it  was  almost 
useless.  The  second  attempt  (1745)  was  a  Platonic  demonstration  on  behalf 
of  religious  liberty  by  the  Irish  House  of  Commons — there  being  scarcely 
any  Jews  in  Ireland  at  the  time, — but  it  also  proved  abortive,  in  consequence 
of  the  hostility  of  the  Peers.  One  result  of  the  Irish  Bill  was  the  establishment 
of  the  Board  of  Deputies  (see  No.  614),  which  was  formed  to  watch  the  i^rogress 
of  the  measure,  and  which  has  continued  its  existence  to  the  present  time. 
In  1753  the  first  serious  efl'ort  to  place  the  Jews  on  an  equality  with  their 
fellow-countrymen  was  made  by  the  famous  "  Jew  Bill."  This  measure, 
which  was  initiated  in  the  Lords,  and  received  the  assent  of  both  the 
Commons  and  the  Crown,  provoked  an  unexampled  outburst  of  intolerance 
in  the  country.  Partisans  of  the  Bill  were  mobbed,  and  the  country  was 
flooded  with  ribald  broadsheets  and  caricatures,  in  which  every  species  of 


G  I. — Historic  Belies  and  Becords. 

obloquy  was  heaped  on  the  unofl'entliug  Hebrews.  Tlie  Ministry  liecamo 
alarmed,  and  quickly  introduced  and  passed  another  Bill  to  re\ye&\  the 
obnoxious  measure.  By  this  display  of  intolerance  the  progress  of  Jewish 
emanci])ation  was  seriously  retarded,  and  it  was  not  until  IB^O  that  the 
question  was  again  brought  before  tlie  public. 

In  the  meantime  the  Jews  had  prospered,  and  many  of  them  had 
achieved  high  social  position.  They  acutely  felt  their  exclusion  from 
civil  and  political  rights,  and  sought  the  first  favourable  opportunity  of 
bringing  their  claims  before  Parliament.  This  was  afforded  by  the  distinctly 
liberal  tendency  of  public  feeling  manifested  in  the  reixjal  of  the  Test  and 
Corporation  Act  in  1828.  Sir  Isaac  Lyon  Goldsmid,  Mr.  N.  M.  Rothschild, 
Sir  David  Salomons,  and  Sir  Moses  Montefiore,  assisted  by  the  Board  of 
Deputies,  organised  a  small  movement  and  enlisted  the  support  of  influential 
friends.  In  1830  the  struggle  commenced  with  the  introduction  of  Mr. 
llobert  Grant's  Bill  for  the  Repeal  of  the  Civil  Disabilities  of  the  Jews.  The 
measure  was  defeated  on  the  second  reading.  Three  years  later  another  effort 
was  made  and  with  better  success.  The  Commons  passed  the  Bill,  but  the 
Lords  threw  it  out.  Year  by  year  the  campaign  was  now  prosecuted  with 
unwearying  zeal;  but  the  obduracy  of  the  Lords  proved  insurmountable. 
New  tactics  were  resolved  upon.  Leading  Jews  became  candidates  for  pubhc 
officers,  from  which,  in  the  then  state  of  the  law,  they  were  excluded. 
This  at  once  changed  the  question  from  an  academic  to  a  practical  one, 
and  also  had  the  effect  of  enlisting  as  friends  the  large  section  of  the  upblic 
who  by  their  votes  had  committed  themselves  to  the  eligibility  of  Jews  for 
public  employment.  In  this  way  municipal  (1835)  and  corporate  (1845) 
offices  were  successively  thrown  open  to  Jews,  and  in  1847  an  attack  was 
made  on  Parliament  itself.  Here  however  the  resistance  was  most  obstinate. 
Even  such  friends  of  the  Jews  as  the  Duke  of  Sussex  hesitated  to  regard 
this  phase  of  the  question  as  an  integral  part  of  Jewish  rights.  To  administer 
the  law  was  one  thing ;  to  be  concerned  in  making  it  in  a  country  which 
Avas  Christian  by  statute,  was  held  to  be  both  dangerous  and  anomalous.  The 
contest  raged  round  the  wording  of  the  oath  which  the  Jewish  members 
of  Parliament — Baron  Lionel  de  Rothschild  and  Sir  David  Salomons — refused 
to  take.  For  eleven  years  the  question  was  debated ;  but  in  1858,  by  the 
good  offices  of  Mr.  Disraeli,  a  compromise  was  arranged  with  the  Lords,  by 
which  the  whole  of  the  Jewish  claim  was  conceded.  Two  years  later  an  Act 
received  the  royal  assent  enabling  Jews  on  all  occasions  whatsoever  to  omit 
the  words  "  on  the  true  faith  of  a  Christian,"  from  the  Oath  of  Allegiance. 
Since  that  date  Jews  have  been  prominent  among  the  members  of  the  Lower 
House.  One,  Sir  George  Jessel,  afterwards  Master  of  the  Bolls  (see  No.  1110), 
served  as  Solicitor-General,  and  Baron  H.  de  Worms  has  twice  filled  the 
Under-Secretaryship  to  the  Board  of  Trade  in  a  Conservative  Ministrj".  What 
lingering  doubt  there  might  have  been  as  to  the  eligibility  of  Jews  for 
membership  of  the  higher  House  was  removed  in  1885,  when  Mr.  Gladstone 
created  Sir  Nathaniel  de  Rothschild  a  peer  (see  No.  1119). 

The  internal  history  of  the  community  follows  a  course  very  similar  to  that 
of  their  political  progress,  with  the  exception  that  it  has  been  continuous  and 
jjeaceful.     The  only  disturbing  feature  was  the  Reform  Movement  of  1840 — 


Pre-Expidsion  Period. 


a  movement  the  significance  of  wliicli  was  much  exaggerated  at  the  time,  and 
all  the  bitterness  of  which  has  long  since  passed  away.  Much  of  the  history 
of  this  period  may  be  read  in  the  following  pages,  in  the  documents  rehxting 
to  public  institutions,  the  relics  of  public  men,  and  the  notes  appended  to  the

"  The  gift  of  Joseph,  son  of  the  Holy  [  =  martyred] 
Eabbi  Yechiel  (may  the  memory  of  the  holy  and  righteous 
be  a  blessing),  who  answered  and  directed  the  congrega- 
tion as  he  desired,  in  order  to  see  the  face  of  Ariel 
[Jerusalem]  as  it  is  written  in  the  law  of  Yekuthiel 
[?  =  Solomon]  '  Kighteousness  (charity)  delivereth  from 
death '  "  (Prov.  x.  2). 

Found  by  a  fisherman  in  a  brook  in  Suffolk  about  1696, 
it  passed  into  possession  of  Dr.  Covel,  whose  executors 
sold  it  to  the  Earl  of  Oxford,  from  whom  it  passed  to 
Dr.  Eawlinson  and  thence  into  the  Ashmolean  Museum. 
The  interpretation  of  the  inscription,  and  the  object  for 
which  the  ewer  was  used,  is  still  disputed  among  autho- 
rities, most  being  of  opinion  that  it  was  a  receptacle  for 
the  charitable  funds  of  a  congregation,  Dr.  Neubauer 
holding  that  it  was  a  laver  used  for  washing  the  dead.

1251.  The  Story  of  the  Kothschild  Family.  Lucicn  Wolf. 

Two  photos  from  paintings  by  Moritz  Oppenhcim. 

In  1806  Napoleon  I.  invaded  Hesse  Cassel.  The  Elector  William,'  previous 
to  his  flight,  deposited  his  fortune,  with  his  Court  Agent  Maier  Amschel 
Rothschild  of  Frankfort.  The  use  of  this  large  sum  of  money  is  said  to 
have  founded  tlie  fortunes  of  the  Rothschild  family,  which  wore  still 
further  secured  when,  at  the  end  of  the  Napoleonic  wars,  the  sons 
of  Maier  Rothschild  returned  the  money  with  interest. 

1252.  The  Kothschild  House — Frankfort-on-Main.         E.  Joseph. 

Photo. 

In  this  house  (known  as  "  Zum  Griincn  Schild  ")  in  the  old  Ghetto  or  Juden- 
gasse,  of  Frankfort,  dwelt  Maier  Amschel  Rothschild  (b.  1743,  d.  180'2), 
the  great-grandfather  of  Lord  Rothschild,  and  the  founder  of  the  family. 
It  dates  from  1711  when,  in  consequence  of  the  destruction  of  the 
quarter  by  fire,  the  Judengasse  was  rebuilt.  Maier  Rothschild  purchased 
it  in  1780,  and  all  his  nineteen  children  were  born  and  reared  within  its 
walls.  When  last  year  the  Judengasse  was  demolished,  the  heirs  of 
Maier  Rothschild  caused  the  stones  to  be  carefully  preserved  and  num- 
bered, and  the  building  has  lately  been  re-erected  in  Frankfort.  Jt  serves 
as  the  head-quarters  of  the  Rothschild  charities  in  that  city.

II.— JEWISH    ECCLESIASTICAL    ART. 


The  historic  origin  and  uses  of  tlie  principal  objects  represented  in  this 
section  are  described  under  their  respective  heads ;  but  as  they  all  partake 
of  an  artistic  character,  it  has  been  judged  desirable  to  introduce  them  with 
some  general  observations  on  Jewish  Ecclesiastical  Art.  Unfortunately  this 
branch  of  study  has  no  very  distinct  existence,  and  it  would  be  extremely 
difficult  to  trace  its  history  in  any  detail.  It  is  more  correct  to  speak  of  a 
geography  than  of  a  history  of  Jewish  Ecclesiastical  Art ;  for  like  the  jargons 
of  the  Hebrew  people,  their  manners  and  customs,  their  superstitions  and 
other  phenomena  of  their  social  life,  their  art  is  little  more  than  a  composite 
deposit  of  the  contrastful  impressions  of  a  wide  geographical  dispersion,  and 
of  a  varied  and  chequered  history.  Whether  the  Hebrew  consciousness  is 
normally  deficient  of  artistic  sympathies,  or  whether  it  has  been  dulled  in 
this  respect  by  the  Biblical  command  anent  graven  images,  are  interesting 
questions  upon  which  we  need  not  dUate.  Their  discussion  in  these  pages 
would  not  assist  the  reader  to  a  better  comprehension  or  appreciation  of  the 
exhibits  to  which  we  are  referring.  Our  historic  survey  must  be  limited  to 
the  remark  that,  whatever  the  normal  artistic  capacities  of  the  Hebrew  people, 
they  must  have  been  strongly  affected,  if  not  altogether  transformed,  by  the 
stupendous  catastrophe  of  the  Dispersion,  and  the  career  of  ceaseless  wander- 
ing and  misery  which  subjected  them  to  the  perplexing  influences  of  ever- 
changing  surroundings. 

In  short,  the  peculiar  nature  of  Jewish  history  left  the  Jews  little  leisure 
for  the  cultivation  of  art  as  art ;  and  their  efforts  in  this  respect  were  less 
directed  to  the  production  of  things  of  beauty,  for  the  sake  of  their  beauty, 
than  to  the  illustration  of  the  affection  or  reverence  in  which  they  held 
l)articular  persons  or  things.  For  this  purpose  the  mere  richness  of  the  gift 
was  sufficient,  and,  design  being  to  a  certain  extent  a  minor  consideration, 
they  borrowed  freely  from  the  art  types  of  the  nations  among  whom  they 
dwelt,  or  from  the  more  obvious  methods  of  costly  decoration.  Their 
betrothal  rings,  for  example,  were  frequently  of  immense  size,  but,  except 
that  they  bore  a  Hebrew  inscription  signifying  "  Good  Luck,"  they  rarely 
differed  from  the  similar  rings  in  vogue  among  the  Gentiles.  A  curious 
example  of  the  indication  of  reverence  for  ritual  paraphernalia  by  the  mere 
costliness  of  the  ornamentation  is  afforded  by  No.  1854  in  the  present 
exhibition,  in  which  a  pair  of  phylactery  sheaths  are  encased  in  stout  plates 
of  gold  set  with  large  diamonds. 

Throughout  his  history,  the  Jew  has  prized  nothing  more  highly  than 
that  portion  of  the  Scriptures  which  records  the  earliest  traditions  of  his  race, 
and  contains  his  Sacred  Law ;  and  he  has  marked  his  reverence  for  it  by  a 
lavish  ornamentation  of  the  Scrolls  from  which  it  is  read  during  Divine 

G  2

service.  Mantles  of  costly  stufifs  and  ricli  embroidery  are  partially  covered 
with  breastplates  of  silver  or  gold,  and  surmounted  by  elaborate  crowns  or  bells. 
Even  the  pointer  with  which  the  reader  follows  the  text  is  frequently  a 
marvel  of  goldsmithery,  and  more  often  than  not  the  index  finger  will  be 
found  tipped  with  a  jewel.  Thus  costumed,  the  scroll  is  enshrined  in  an 
ark  which,  in  the  synagogue,  is  generally  a  fine  piece  of  joinery  or  ironwork, 
and  in  the  home — being  of  smaller  size — is  more  elaborate,  sometimes  even  of 
silver  studded  with  precious  stones.  Two  splendid  examples  of  the  latter 
kind  of  arks  are  shown  in  the  present  Exhibition.  ((See  Nos.  136]  and  1903.) 
And  then,  finally,  a  velvet  or  satin  curtain  is  hung  before  the  ark,  on  which 
figure  suitable  inscriptions  and  designs  in  bullion  embroidery.  It  is  curious  to 
notice  that  in  their  anxiety  to  bring  the  richest  tributes  to  their  Holy  Law, 
the  Jews  have  not  scrupled  to  evade  the  strict  letter  of  the  law  with  regard  to 
graven  images.  Heraldic  representations  of  animals,  and  sometimes  even 
figures  of  the  Law-giver  and  the  High  Priest  occur  on  mantles  and  breast- 
plates ;  and  it  was  held  that  such  representations,  being  only  in  partial 
relief,  did  not  constitute  complete  images.  Of  course  the  scope  of  ornamenta- 
tion would  have  been  much  restricted  without  them. 

After  the  Law,  the  home  is  pei'haps  the  most  jirecious  thing  in  the  eyes 
of  the  Jew.  As  the  former  was  the  fountain-head  of  his  spiritual  consolation 
in  the  evil  days  of  his  outlawry,  so  the  latter  was  the  source  of  all  the 
human  comfort  with  which  his  sorrows  were  soothed.  The  domestic 
religious  exercises  prescribed  by  his  religion  afforded  many  opportunities 
for  enhancing  the  sacred  character  of  his  home,  and  enabled  him  to 
illustrate  both  his  affection  for  the  domestic  hearth,  and  his  reverence  for 
his  faith,  by  a  numerous  ritual  paraphemalia,  in  the  design  and  con- 
struction of  which  the  ornamental  arts  were  largely  employed.  For  the 
inauguration  and  termination  of  the  Sabbath  he  used  and  still  uses 
candelabra,  spice  boxes  and  sanctificatioir  cups.  Special  diolies  and  goblets 
were  employed  in  the  Passover  meal ;  and  the  citron,  used  during  the  Feast  of 
Tabernacles,  was  enclosed  in  a  case.  The  Feast  of  Dedication  was  honoured 
with  elaborate  candlesticks ;  and  the  roll  of  Estlier  read  on  the  Feast  of 
Purim  was  the  object  of  specially  magnificent  ornamentation.  "Jlie 
illuminated  Meyilloth,  as  these  rolls  are  called,  with  their  varied  but  ahvays 
elaborate  cases,  are  among  the  most  remarkable  objects  displayed  in  the 
Ecclesiastical  Art  Section  of  the  present  Exhibition.  It  is  needless  to  pursue 
the  enimieration  of  the  ritual  utensils  which  Jews  love  to  honour  by  means 
of  the  decorative  arts.  Religious  ceremonies  compass  the  whole  life  of  the 
observant  Jew,  and  hence  the  list  of  objects  susceptible  of  artistic  jirescnt- 
ment  is  very  long.  We  should  add  in  conclusion  that,  Avhile  the  designs 
affected  by  Jewish  ecclesiastical  art  are  of  the  most  cosmopolitan  character, 
some  distinctive  feature,  common  to  the  race  and  its  history,  generally  appears 
on  each  object.  Sometimes  it  is  a  Hebrew  inscription,  sometimes  sucli 
traditional  emb'ems  as  the  seven-branched  candlestick,  the  tablets  of  the 
Law,  or  the  interlaced  triangle  known  as  "the  Shield  of  David."  But 
except  in  some  form  of  charms  these  characteristic  symbols  are  only  incidental 
and  subordinate  to  a  main  design  Avhich  has  not  the  remotest  connection  with 
the  history  of  the  Hebrew  people.

a.— AKK     AND     CTJB.TA1N. 

[The  receptacle  for  the  Scroll  of  the  Law  is  termed  the  Ark  (K^TpH  JIIN), 
which  has  usually  two  doors  opening  outwards.  It  is  usually  covered 
by  a  curtain  sliding  on  a  rail.  In  the  arrangement  of  the  ark  and  the 
curtain  covering  it,  reminiscences  of  the  Temple  with  its  Holy  of  Holies 
concealed  by  a  curtain,  has  doubtless  had  an  influence.  In  Spanish 
synagogues  the  curtain  is  inside  the  doors,  a  relic  of  the  times  when  such 
a  receptacle  had  to  be  concealed  from  the  officers  of  the  Inquisition.  The 
ark  is  sometimes  portable,  being  used  in  domestic  woi'ship,  or  in  travel- 
ling, and  under  those  cases  is  without  a  curtain,  and  is  termed  a  case.

usually  a  swinging  lamp,  immediately  in  front  of  the  Ark.  Here  again 
there  is  a  reference  to  the  Temple  service,  where  a  perpetual  lamp 
■was  kept  burning,  as  is  known  from  tlie  Maccabean  legend  of  the  Feast 
of  Dedication.]

c— LAVEBS     FOR     PRIESTS. 

[Jews,  being  a  nation  of  priests,  the  existence  of  a  special  class  of  priests 
(Cohanini)  was  only  rendered  necessai-y  by  the  Temple  service,  and  the 
"  Sons  of  Aaron  "  have  only  one  priestly  function  remaining  to  them  at 
the  present  day,  the  benediction  mentioned  in  the  Law.  This  is  given  with 
hands  upraised  with  a  division  between  the  middle  and  ring  finger,  a 
position  of  the  fingers  which  has  become  a  characteristic  of  the  Cohanim. 
Before  the  solemn  act  the  priests  must  ensure  ritual  purity  by  laving 
the  hands,  which  thus  becomes  part  of  the  service  and  necessitates  a 
laver.]

d— SCKOIiliS    OF    THE    LAW    AND    APPURTENANCES. 

[The  reading  of  the  Law  being  the  central  function  of  Jewish  public  worship, 
everything  connected  with  it  is  decorated  as  sumptuously  as  possible. 
The  scroll  itself  (miD  "IQD)  must  be  written,  not  printed  or  litho- 
graphed, nor  must  it  be  in  book  form,  the  ancient  form  of  scroll  being 
retained.  The  parchment  (or  leather)  is  attached  to  rollers  with  handles, 
termed  "  tree  of  life  "  (D''''n  |*r),  by  which  the  scroll  is  unrolled  from 
right  to  left.  When  closed  and  about  to  be  returned  to  the  ark,  it  is  tied 
securely  by  a  band,  which  is  often  elaborately  worked,  and  then  is 
enclosed  in  a  mantle  to  keep  it  free  from  dust.  Attached  to  the  top 
handles  by  chains  is  a  breastplate  (TtO),  on  which  is  inscribed  the  name 
of  the  festival.  Then  comes  the  pointer  (^^),  by  which  the  reader 
follows  the  text  without  touching  the  scroll.  This  is  invariably  in  the

€.— SYNAGOGUE    DECORATION. 

[As  is  well  known,  the  interior  decoration  of  synagogues  is  very  simple. 
There  is  always  however  includeci  the  Tablets  of  the  Law  with  the  initial 
words  of  the  Ten  Commandmeuts,  generally  placed  above  the  Ark.  In 
English  Synagogues  the  Prayer  for  the  £oyal  Family  is  generally 
placed  so  that  it  can  be  read  by  the  congregation.  The  Beadug  Desk 
on  which  the  Scroll  of  the  Law  is  placed  is  covered  with  a  decorated 
cover.]

/.—SYNAGOGUE    MUSIC— SHOPHAKOTH. 

[Music  has  always  been  the  Jewish  art  par  excellence,  tliough  the  earliest 
forms  seem  to  have  the  peculiar  intervals  so  distressing  to  Western  ears. 
Very  little  of  contempoi'ary  Jewish  music  can  be  traced  very  far  bacii, 
Arabic,  French  and  German  folic  songs  being  discernible  in  the  music  of 
tl»e  Synagogue.  The  peculiar  cantillation  with  which  the  Law  is  read  has- 
better  claims  to  antiquity.  And  at  least  the  Shophar,  or  ram's-horn: 
trumpet,  used  on  the  New  Year  and  the  Fast  of  Atonement,  is  the  same- 
instrument  as  that  referred  to  by  the  same  name  in  the  Bible.]

7i.— SABBATH    REQUISITES. 

rXhe  Sabbath  is  welcomed  "  as  a  bride  "  by  the  devout  Jew.  According  to 
the  Jewish  proverb,  "  where  there's  light  there's  joy,"  the  Sabbath  Eve 
is  ushered  in  by  the  lighting  of  the  Lamp,  the  form  of  which  is  not  fixed,. 
but  is  usually  of  seven  burners.  A  cup  of  wine,  the  Eiddush  Cup,  or 
cup  of  sanctification,  is  tasted.  The  bread  at  the  evening  meal  is  of 
special  form  (Halla),  and  before  use  is  covered  with  the  Halla  Cloth. 
The  close  of  the  Sabbath  has  also  its  own  ceremonial,  in  which  the 
Kiddush  Cup  is  again  used,  and  the  senses  are  gratified  by  the  sweet 
savour  of  the  Spice-box,  doubtless  a  reminiscence  of  the  East.]

«.— FESTIVAL     REQUISITES. 

[The  chief  Jewish  festivals  that  are  celebrated  in  the  home,  and  thus  require 
special  requisites  ai'e  Passover,  Tabernacles,  Hanuca  (Feast  of  Dedication; 
of  the  Temple),  and  Purim,  or  the  Feast  of  Esther.  The  chief  service  of 
the  Passover  is  that  of  the  Passover  Eve  (Seder),  when  the  story  of  the 
Exodus  is  told  to  tlie  children,  with  appropriate  symbols.  Four  glasses 
of  wine  are  emptied,  bitter  herbs  are  eaten,  and  the  bread  is  unleavened 
(n^D).  In  the  centre  of  the  table  is  placed  a  cup  for  the  use  of  the 
Prophet  Elijah  if  he  should  come  to  announce  the  coming  of  the  Messiah. 
The  Feast  of  Tabernacles  is  celebi-ated  by  residence  in  a  booth  (HSD 
Succa),  which  is  built  with  only  leaves  and  boughs  for  a  roof.  There  is 
used  besides  the  Ethrog,  or  citron,  and  the  Lulab,  or  palm-branch,  round 
which  is  twined  myrtle  and  willow,  which  have  all  their  symbolic 
teaching.  The  Feast  of  Dedication  of  the  Temple,  when  the  Lamp  was 
miraculously  kept  alight  for  eight  days,  has  for  an  appropriate  symbol  a 
eight-branched  candelabrum,  to  which  is  attached  a  master  lamp  (termed 
*'  the  beadle  "),  making  nine  in  all ;  as  many  lamps  are  each  evening 
lighted  as  the  days  of  the  feast  that  have  come.  Lastly,  the  feast  that 
celebrates  the  salvation  of  the  Jews  by  Esther  is  appropriately  celebrated 
by  reading  the  record  of  her  deeds  in  the  Megilla,  or  scroll  of  Esther.")

[Jewish  betrothals  used  to  be  equally  formal  and  binding  as  marriages,  and 
Betrothal  Rings  were  made  equally  elaborate  as  Wedding  Rings,  which 

often  contain  the  names  of  the  wedded  pair,  with  the  addition  of  31t2  ?TO 
("  Good  Luck  ").  The  former  in  early  times  were  used  to  surround  a 
sprig  of  myrtle,  whence  their  large  size.  At  the  wedding  ceremony  it  is 
customary  for  the  bridegroom  to  break  the  glass  out  of  which  the  bride 
and  he  have  drank  the  wine  of  sanctification.  The  ceremony  is  recorded 
in  Hebrew  in  the  marriage  certificate  (Chetubah).  Divorce  is  only  made 
known  by  a  letter  of  divorce  (t3J),  which  are  pierced  and  cut  curiously.]

III.  ANTIQUITIES. 


A'KTT  complete  collection  of  Jewish  antiquities  would  range  over  the  whole 
field  of  historic  archasolocjy.  Scattered  through  all  the  nations  of  the  civilized 
world,  the  Jews  have  had  points  of  contact  with  every  nation  that  has  had  a 
history.  The  few  specimens  drawn  from  this  wide  field  shown  in  the 
present  Exhibition  cannot  profess  to  represent  in  any  degree  the  whole  field 
of  Jewish  antiquities,  and  only  afford  a  glimpse  of  the  much  broader  basis  on 
which  Anglo-Jewish  history  itself  rests.  The  collection  is  miscellaneous  in 
character,  and  only  admits  of  rough  classification  under  the  headings  of 
MSS.,  Books,  Inscriptions,  the  Temple,  Holy  Land,  and  Assyria,  and  lastlj'. 
Seals  and  Rings,  on  each  of  which  a  lew  remarks  may  here  be  made. 

Almost  all  the  Hebrew  MSS.  offered  have  been  shown  and  catalogued  as 
it  is  in  inedited  MSS.  that  ever  fresh  light  is  to  be  expected  in  the  various 
departments  of  Jewish  literature.  Some  rare  liturgies,  translations  of  the 
Arabic  philosophers  into  Hebrew,  will  be  found  amongst  them.  But  the 
chief  attraction  of  our  collection  is  formed  by  two  collections,  one  of  general 
range,  exhibited  by  Sir  Julian  Goldsmid,  Bart,,  M.P.,  and  the  Samaritan 
MSS.  shown  by  the  Earl  of  Crawford  and  Balcarres,  the  finest  private 
collection  of  this  class  of  MSS.  in  existence ;  no  list  of  these  has  hitherto 
appeared  in  print,  though  an  elaborate  catalogue  has  been  drawn  up  by  the 
Rev.  A.  Lowy,  and  is  exhibited  witli  the  MSS.,  to  which  it  forms  an  indis- 
pensable guide.  Turning  from  the  sublime  to  the  other  extreme,  attention 
may  be  drawn  to  the  notorious  "  Shapira  MS."  which  created  such  a 
sensation  while  the  question  of  its  authenticity  was  still  suh  lite. 

The  Books  shown  have  been  chiefly  selected  for  the  extrinsic  merits  of  their 
binding,  as  the  British  Museum  oflered  to  exhibit  a  selection  of  its  magnifi- 
cent collection,  with  which  we  could  not  hope  to  cope.  Besides  this  the 
Trustees  are  also  displaying  some  sixty  of  their  Hebrew  MSS.  selected  from 
their  collection  of  over  one  thousand  codices.  Scholars  will  be  glad  of  even 
this  small  instalment  of  a  catalogue  of  these  treasures. 

Under  Inscriptions  we  may  notice  the  collection  of  photographs  found  by 
M.  Isidore  Loeb, and  kindly  placed  at  our  disposal;  inscriptions  from  France, 
Spain,  Germany,  Arabia,  and  the  Holy  Land,  are  included  under  this  head. 
Material  is  thus  offered  to  the  student  for  a  study  of  Hebrew  necrographic 
inscriptions. 

The  intimate  connection  of  Jewish  history  and  feeling  with  the  Holy  Land 
would  justify  the  exhibits  dealing  with  Palestine,  even  if  there  were  no  section  of 
antiquities.  Both  in  their  own  thoughts  and  in  the  views  of  others,  the 
relation  of  Jews  Avith  the  Holy  Land  is  so  close  that  no  lapse  of  time  can 
dissever  their  connection,  if  only  imaginative,  with  the  past  glories  of  the 


134  III. — Antiquities. 


Holy  Land.  And  of  these  the  memory  looks  back  with  especial  affection  to 
the  glories  of  the  Temple.  These  are  represented  in  the  present  Exhibition 
by  a  remarkable  model  reconstruction  of  Solomon's  time,  the  result  of  the  life 
study  of  Mr.  Thomas  Newberry,  and  of  three,  years'  labour  of  Messrs.  Bartlett. 
Scholars  will  doubtless  dispute  as  to  the  amount  of  the  success  with  which 
the  ancient  building  has  been  reconstructed  from  the  scanty  mentions  in  the 
Biblical  records,  but  all' will  admire  the  industry  and  ingenuity  with  which 
the  mechanical  difficulties  of  such  a  conception  have  been  approached  and 
siu"mounted. 

The  ;Palestine  Exploration  Fund  exhibit  the  choicest  of  their  treasures, 
chief  among  which  may  be  mentioned  their  own  map,  the  most  important 
contribution  to  Biblical  study  that  has  been  made  in  England  for  many 
years.  The  other  objects  they  exhibit  have  attracted  such  wide  interest 
among  Bible  students  that  detailed  descriptions  would  be  an  impertinence 
towards  these,  and  in  another  sense  impertinent  to  the  wants  of  the  general 
public.  The  Moabite  Stone  and  the  Siloam  Inscription  have  been  the  subject 
of  numbers  of  monographs  which  have  not  yet  exhausted  the  instruction  to 
be  drawn  from  these  earliest  specimens  of  Semitic  paleography.  Students 
will  have  these  at  hand,  others  will  be  content  to  do  without  more  explicit 
description. 

Next  to  the  Holy  Land,  the  Land  of  the  Captivity,  where  the  Jewish 
exiles  refused  to  sing  their  songs  in  a  strange  land,  has  chief  interest  to  the 
student  of  Jewish  history,  not  to  speak  of  the  many-coloured  light  that  the 
cuneiform  inscriptions  have  thrown  upon  Biblical  archaeology  in  general. 
A  carefully  selected  collection  of  Assyrian  objects  discovered  by  Mr.  H. 
Eassam,  and  exhibited  by  Mrs,  Gr.  E.  Sandeman,  will  give  the  visitor  some 
idea  of  the  range  of  Assyrian  archeology. 

Lastly,  a  number  of  Seals  and  Rings  offer  some  addition  to  the  scanty 
materials  of  Jewish  sigillography,  a  subject  on  which  a  complete  monograph 
has  been  promised  for  some  time  past  from  the  learned  pen  of  M.  Saige.  In 
this  department,  as  in  others,  the  compilers  regret  that  the  hurry-scurry  with 
which  work  such  as  theirs  must  be  conducted,  has  prevented  the  full 
inscriptions  and  descriptions  from  being  given.  Their  entries  cannot  profess 
to  do  more  than  record  in  the  briefest  jjossible  way  the  nature  of  the  exhibits 
and  the  source  whence  fuller  accotmts  may  be  obtained.

IY._COINS   AND   MEDALS. 


There  are,  of  course,  no  Anglo-Jewisli  coins  ;  but  it  seemed  natural  that  in 
our  Exhibition  some  of  the  pieces  referring  to  the  History  of  the  Jews  in  tho 
Holy  Land  should  find  a  place,  and  the  result  has  been  that  a  very  creditable 
selection  of  Jewish  coins  has,  by  the  kindness  of  the  respective  owners,  been 
obtained  from  some  of  the  best  collections,  and  is  being  displayed  within 
these  walls. 

It  had  been  suggested  that  in  connection  with  our  own  Loan  Collection  a 
short  resume  should  be  given  by  me  on  the  subject  of  the  Jewish  Coinage  in 
general ;  and  while,  on  the  one  hand,  admitting  the  difficulty  of  compressing 
much  elaborate  detail  into  the  few  pages  allowed  to  me  for  that  purpose,  I 
must,  on  the  other  hand,  acknowledge  the  obligations  under  wliich  I  am  to 
the  authors  of  the  various  works  and  papers  from  which  so  much  of  my 
material  is  necessarily  derived. 

Mr.  Frederic  W.  Madden,  in  his  History  of  the  Jewish  Coinage  (B. 
Quaritch,  1864),  of  which  virtually  a  Second  Edition  is  contained  in  the 
International  Numismata  Orientalia,  vol.  ii.  (Trlibner  &  Co.,  1881),  has 
made  the  subject  pecuHarly  his  own,  and  I  am  also  indebted  to  him  for  some 
hints  concerning  this  short  paper.  Other  authors  who  have  been  and  may  be 
consulted  ■with  advantage  are  the  Abbe  Cavedoni  (Numismatica  Biblica, 
Modena,  1849  and  1850)  ;  Monsieur  F.  de  Saulcy  (Recherches  sur  la  Numis- 
onatique  Judaiqve,  Paris,  1854,  and  Nttmismatiqiie  de  la  Terre  Sainte,  Paris, 
1874);  Dr.  Levy,  of  Breslau  (Geschichte  der  Judischeii  Miinzen,  Breslau, 
1862) ;  Dr.  Eugen  Merzbacher  ("  Die  Zeitrechnung  der  Sekel,"  in  the  Zeit- 
schrift  der  Numismatik,  1878,  vol.  v.,  &c.  &c.) ;  Mr.  Eeginald  S.  Poole 
(article  on  "  Money  "  in  Dr.  Smith's  Dictionary  of  the  Bihle)  ;  and  Dr.  John 
Evans,  a  leading  member  of  our  Council,  who  not  only  has  skilfully  criticised 
Monsieur  Saulcy's  work,  but  has  as  ably  dealt  with  other  questions  connected 
with  the  Jewish  Coinage  in  the  pages  of  the  Numismatic  Chronicle,  and  in 
which  are  also  to  be  found  scattered  papers  by  the  Revs.  H.  C.  Eeichardt  (one 
of  our  most  enterprising  collectors),  Churchill  Babington,  S.  S.  Lewis  and 
H.  J.  Rose. 

Among  so  many  authors  it  may  be  assumed  that  there  has  not  been  a 
■want  of  controversial  discussion,  but  the  limits  assigned  to  me  do  not  enable 
me  to  enlarge  upon  any  disputed  points,  antl  I  will  now  give  a  brief  outline  of 
the  subject,  leaving  those  whom  it  may  interest  to  consult  for  fuller  infornui- 
tiou  and  instruction  the  various  authorities  to  whom  I  have  referred. 

The  earliest  medium  of  exchange  in  use  among  the  Jews  was  uncoined 
silver,  which  passed  by  weight  and  not  by  tale.     The  word  "  shekel "  (^pt?*)j 


152  IV. — Coins  and  Medals. 

which  signifies  "  weight,"  is  an  evidence  of  this,  and  all  the  passages  in  the 
Pentateuch  in  which  shekels  or  silver  pieces  are  mentioned,  refer  to  pieces 
weighed  out,  probably  in  the  shape  of  ingots,  and  not  to  C(iined  money  or 
pieces  struck  under  authority.  It  was  an  age  of  barter,  and  the  currency 
(question  had  not  yet  arisen. 

After  the  return  from  Babylon  gijjd  talents  and  drams  were  also  in  use,  as 
will  be  seen  by  reference  to  Ezra  (viii.  25-27),  but  these  again  were  divisions 
of  weight  and  not  of  coined  monej\ 

The  famous  edict  of  Cyrus,  King  of  Persia,  authorizing  the  return  to 
Jerusalem,  was  dated  a.m.  322-t  (b.c.  536),  but  our  first  record  of  actual  coined 
money  of  the  Jews  dates  only  from  the  first  year  of  Simon  Maccabaeus 
(a.m.  3617,  B.C.  143),  or,  according  to  Dr.  Eugen  Merzbacher,  two  years  later, 
when  the  official  era  of  the  Government  of  iSimon  commenced. 

The  authority  to  the  Jews  to  coin  money  was  conferred  upon  them  by 
Antiochus  VII.,  Sidetes,  in  his  grant  of  privileges  addressed  to  Simon,  con- 
taining the  words,  "  I  give  thee  leave  also  to  coin  money  for  thy  country  with 
thine  own  stamp ;  "  but  seeing  that  this  edict  was  probably  issued  when  the 
Syrian  king  was  staying  at  Khodes,  Simon  appears  to  have  coined  money  in 
his  first  official  year  without  authority. 

The  following  is  a  synopsis  of  the  periods  during  which  were  struck  such 
pieces  as  can  fairly  be  treated  as  coining  within  the  scope  of  our  Exhibition 
and  of  this  paper  : — 

(I.)  Maccabaean  or  Asmonaean  family,  a.m.  3617-3723  (b.c.  143-37). 

(II.)  Idimiaean  or  Herodian  Princes,  a.m.  3723  to  perhaps  3860  (b.c.  37- 
A.D.  100  ?). 

(III.)  Roman  Procurators  of  Judaea,  who  governed  it  as  a  Roman  Province 
during  the  ostensible  reigns  of  some  of  the  last-mentioned  princes,  a.m. 
3766-3826  (a.d.  6-66). 

(IV.)  First  revolt  of  the  Jews  under  the  leadership  of  Eleazar,  son  of 
Ananias ;  Eleazar,  son  of  Simon  ;  John  of  Gischala ;  Simon,  son  of  Gamaliel ; 
and  Simon,  son  of  Gioras,  a.m.  3826-3830  (a.d.  66-70). 

(V.)  Coins  struck  in  Palestine  and  at  Rome,  commemorating  the  capture 
of  Jerusalem,  a.m.  3830  (a.d.  70),  and 

(VI.)  Second  revolt  of  the  Jews  imder  Simon  Barcochab,  a.m.  3892-3895 
(a.d.  132-135). 

Of  the  money  coined  at  these  difterent  periods  I  will  now  treat  seriatim. 

(I.)  Maccabaean  or  Asmonaean  family.  The  princes  of  this  family  who 
struck  pieces  for  current  use  were  Simon  Maccabaeus  (son  of  Mattathias),  his 
son  John  Hyrcanus,  Judas  Aristobulus  and  Alexander  Jannaeus  (sons  of 
John  Hyrcanus),  and  Alexander  JI.  and  Antigonus  (sons  of  Alexander 
Jannaeus  and  his  wife  Alexandra).  In  addition  to  these  some  very  rare 
small  copper  coins  are  ascribed  to  Alexandra,  the  wife  of  Alexander  Jannaeus, 
on  the  strength  of  the  occurrence  of  BAZIAIZ  (for  BAZIAIZZAZ,  which  in 
pure  Attic  would  be  BAZIAEIAZ)  upon  these  pieces.  One  rare  piece  is  also 
attributed  to  her  son  John  Hyrcanus  II. 

Simon  Maccabaeus  coined  shekels  of  his  1st,  2nd,  3rd,  4th,  and  oth  years, 
and  probably  also  half-shekels  of  the  same  years  ;  at  present  no  half-shekel  of 
the  year  5  has  made  its  appearance.     The  shekel  of  the  5th  year  was  until 


Introduction.  153 

lately  unique  in  the  collection  of  the  Eev.  S.  S.  Lewis,  who  exhibits  it;  but 
finother  was  recently  purchased  in  Paris  by  Mr.  W.  Talbot  Keady,  of 
55  Eathbone  Place,  W.,  to  whom  I  am  much  indebted  for  labelling  and 
arranging,  under  my  direction,  the  coins  exhibited.  This  piece  is  now  in  the 
National  Collection.  Shekels  of  the  4th  year  were  very  rare  indeed,  \mtil  a 
recent  find  of  some  hundreds  of  shekels  and  half-shekels  near  Jerusalem, 
succeeding  the  previous  but  much  smaller  trouville  near  Jericho,  materially 
diminished  their  rarity,  but  the  half-shekel  of  that  year  (of  which  a  specimen 
h  also  in  the  cabinet  of  Rov.  S.  S.  Lewis),  stUl  continues  to  be  excessively 
rare. 

All  known  authentic  Jewish  coins  bear  inscriptions  in  old  Hebrew  (Hebreu 
sirchaique)  or  Samaritan  characters;  the  later  Syro-Chaldaean  or  square 
Hebrew  letters  are  positively  unknown  on  them,  and  any  piece  or  coin,  there- 
fore, so  inscribed  may  be  at  once  determined  to  be  a  forgery  or  concoction.  I 
find  it  convenient,  however,  to  refer  to  inscriptions  in  the  modern  characters, 
uAving  partly  to  the  difficulty  in  obtaining  the  necessary  type,  and  partly  to  my 
desire  to  make  the  subject  more  intelligible  to  the  general  student. 

The  shekel  has  on  the  obverse  a  cup  or  chaUce,  with  the  inscription 
7N1K'''  7p5i>  (Shekel  of  Israel)  above  the  number  of  the  year,  N  for  1,  1  for 
2,  &c.,  with  (except  in  the  case  of  the  first  year)  a  tJ*  (for  DJC,  year) 
l)receding  it.  On  the  reverse  is  a  triple  lily  or  hyacinth,  or,  according  to 
some,  the  budding  rod  of  Aaron,*  with  the  legend  ntJ'lp  DT'tJ'1'l''  (Holy 
Jerusalem).  After  the  first  vear,  the  name  of  the  city,  on  both  the  shekels 
and  half-shekels,  is  spelt  D''7JJ'1"1\  The  standard  weight  of  the  shekel  is 
220  grains,  and  the  value  in  English  money  about  2s.  8d. 

The  half-shekel  is  similar,  except  that  the  inscription  on  the  obverse  is 
bp^n  ^2fn  (half-shekel).  Copper  pieces,  but  only  of  the  4th  year  and 
including  a  copper  shekel  of  that  year,  are  also  known.  The  copper  shekel 
resembles  those  in  silver;  the  other  pieces  bear  the  number  of  the  year, 
together  with  designs  of  the  palm-branch  (Lulab)  and  citrons  (Ethrogim), 
both  sacred  to  the  Feast  of  Tabeniacles,  and  the  legend  \V)i  h'Piiib  (The 
redemption  of  Zion). 

Of  John  Hyrcanus  only  copper  pieces  are  known.  His  name  is  written 
(in^n^  or  pDin»  (Jehochanan)  and  pin"*  (Jehonan),  and  the  coins  purport 
on  the  face  of  them  to  be  issued  by  n^THNT  12nr\  t^Xt  b\lin  insn  pHin* 
(Jehochanan,  the  High  Priest  and  Prince  of  the  Confederation  of  the  Jews) 
with  some  slight  variations. 

Judas  Aristobulus,  whose  name  on  his  coins  is  nTlfT*  (Judah),  struck 
somewhat  similar  pieces  in  copper  only,  but  these,  owing  to  the  shortness  of 
his  reign,  are  of  extreme  rarity. 

Alexander  Jannaeus  was  the  first  prince  who  adopted  Greek  inscriptions, 
as  well  as  Hebrew  legends,  and  on  some  of  his  pieces  these  are  bi-lingual. 
In  Hebrew,  he  is  styled  -i^jon  )n3^T•  (tl^^l  king  Jehonathan) ;  in  Greek, 
AAEZANAPOY  BAZIAEQZ  (of  the  king  Alexander).  Flowers,  anchors, 
lialm-branches,  &c.,  ornament  his  coins,  \vhich  are  known  in  copper  only. 

*  "  And  behold  the  rod  of  Aaron  for  the  house  of  Levi  was  budded  and  brought 
forth  buds  and  bloomed  blossoms  and  yielded  almonds."     Numbers  svii.  8. 


154  IV. — Coins  and  Medals. 

The  rare  pieces  ascribed  to  Alexandra,  his  widow,  I  have  before  referred 
to.  There  are  several  types  of  copper  coins  resembling  those  of  Alexander 
Jannaeus,  among  which  one  unique  piece  may  be  ascribed  to  John  Hyrcanus  II., 
his  son,  and  others,  according  to  some  numismatists,  belong  to  Alexander  II. ; 
hut,  according  to  others,  should  await  some  more  certain  and  final  determi- 
nation, the  only  consensus  in  opinion  being  that  they  were  at  all  events- 
struck  before  the  reign  of  Antigonus. 

This  monarch  was  the  last  reigning  prince  of  his  race,  and  was  probably 
the  first  king  whom  the  Eomans  ever  subjected  to  the  disgrace  of  being 
executed  with  the  axe.  One  series  of  copper  coins  of  his  reign  is  known,  on. 
which  the  inscription  is  bi-lingual.  That  in  Greek  reads  BACIAEQC 
ANTirONOY  (of  the  king  Antigonus),  and  that  in  Hebrew  adds  to  his. 
Hebrew  name  (iTTiriD,  Mattathias),  the  formula  as  before  of  "The  High 
Priest  and  the  Confederation  of  the  Jews."  One  very  rare  type  of  his  reign 
also  bears  the  design  of  the  seven-branched  candlestick,  which  was  taken  by 
Titus,  Emperor  of  Eome,  from  the  Temple  of  Herod,  and  was  borne  in  his 
triimiph  before  him,  as  represented  on  the  arch  of  Titus. 

(II.)  Idumaean  or  Herodian  Princes.  The  foimder  of  this  race  was 
Antipater,  but  the  first  of  its  members  who  bore  regal  power  was  the 
notorious  Herod  the  Great,  who  had  (among  his  ten  wives)  married  Mariamne, 
the  daughter  of  the  Asmonaean  Alexander  II.  Having  regard  to  Herod's 
phil-Hellenic  tendencies,  it  is  not  sui-prising  to  find  that  on  his  coins  are  Greek 
inscriptions  only.  During  his  reign  and  thenceforth,  with  the  exceptions  of 
the  periods  during  the  two  Jewish  revolts,  only  copjier  pieces  were  coined  by 
Jewish  princes.  It  is  clear,  however,  that  probably  Roman  denarii  and  Greek 
gold  staters  and  silver  pieces  from  time  to  time  fonned  a  portion  of  the 
currency  of  the  land. 

The  devices  on  Herod's  coins  consist  of  vessels  and  tripods,  probably  in 
the  nature  of  incense-burners,  the  pomegranate,  the  anchor,  double  comu- 
copiae,  helmets  and  other  ornamental  designs.  The  inscription  is  BAZIAEflZ 
H  POAOY  (of  the  King  Herod),  and  on  one  rare  piece  is  the  monogram  -R 
(for  TpixakKtop),  which  is  another  instance  in  addition  to  those  already  known 
in  which  the  Christian  monogram  had,  in  a  different  signification,  a  pre- 
Christian  origin. 

The  other  Herodian  princes  Avho  coined  money  were  his  sons  Archelaus 
Antipas  and  Philip  II.  and  the  kings  Agrippa  I.  and  Agrippa  II.,  the  son 
and  grandson  respectively  of  Aristobulus,  another  son  of  Herod.  Of  Aristo- 
bulus  we  do  not  appear  to  have  any  numismatic  record,  and  of  all  the  others 
mentioned,  the  coins  have  Greek  inscriptions  and  Greek  characters  only. 

Herod  Archelaus,  son  and  successor  of  Herod  the  Great,  is  on  the  few 
coins  existing  which  can  be  attributed  to  him,  denominated  HP  or  WHP, 
clearly  showing  that  he  bore  the  same  name  as  his  father.  He  is  the  only 
Herodian  prince,  also,  who  and  whose  coins  bear  the  title  of  Ethnarch 
(eeNAPXOY).  His  brother  Antipas  was  in  like  manner  styled  on  his  coins 
TETPAPXOS  (Tetrarch),  and  on  these  also  his  name  appears  as  Herod. 
Many  of  these  pieces  were  struck  by  the  last-named  prince  at  Tiberias,  a  city 
which  had  been  built  by  him  in  honour  of  the  Emperor  Tiberius.  Philip  II., 
another  brother,  also  coined  as  Tetrarch,  and  his  pieces  bear  the  heads  of  the 


Introduction.  155 


Emperors  Augustus  [and  Tiberius  successively.  A  very  rare  piece  of  this 
reign  is  among  the  coins  exhibited  by  Rev.  Dr.  Wright.  It  bears  on  the 
reverse  the  design  of  a  Tetra-style  temple,  with  the  date  l.  ib.  (year  12). 
Herod  Agrippa  I.  coined  as  king  (BAZIAEYZ),  with  and  without  the  busts 
and  titles  of  the  Roman  Emperors  Caligula  and  Claudius,  under  whose  auspices 
lie  exercised  his  sway,  Agrippa  II.,  also,  coined  under  the  same  title,  with 
and  without  the  busts  and  titles  of  the  Emperors,  who  in  his  time  were  Nero, 
Ves^jasian,  Titus,  and  Domitian. 

(III.)  Coins  of  the  Roman  Procurators  of  Judaea.  These  were  struck  in 
copi^er  only,  and  always  with  Greek  inscriptions  and  letters.  The  devices  are 
the  ear  of  corn,  palm-tree,  cornu-copiae  diota  or  amphora  (a  two-handled 
vessel  for  wine,  &c.),  triple  lily,  lituus,  or  other  ornamental  designs.  No  re- 
l^resentation  was  iised  which  could  be  in  any  way  offensive  to  Jewish  ideas  or 
customs,  and  therefore  no  images  or  symbols  of  living  things  occur  as  emblems, 
and  in  fact  this  forbearance  on  the  part  of  the  Prociirators  was  carried  further 
than  by  the  later  Herodian  princes,  as  no  coin  is  known  of  the  former  on 
which  even  the  head  of  the  reigning  Emperor  of  Rome  appears.  The  differ- 
ence on  this  point  between  the  two  sets  of  rulers  may  be  well  explained  by 
the  studious  servility  of  the  princes  in  question  on  the  one  hand,  and  the  no 
doubt  stringent  instructions  on  the  other  hand  given  from  head  quarters  to  the 
Procurators  to  avoid  anything  which  might  wound  the  susceptibilities  of  the 
people  over  whom  they  had  so  much  difficulty  otherwise  in  peaceably  estab- 
lishing their  rule.  This  rule,  however,  became  in  other  respects  of  so  tyran- 
nical a  character  as  to  have  ultimately  led  to  the  active  revolt  of  the  Jews. 

The  following  is  a  list  of  the  Procurators  dating  from  a.m.  3766-3826 
(a.d.  6-66),  i.e.  during  the  reigns  of  the  Emperors  Augustus,  Tiberius, 
Claudius  and  Nero. 

(1.)  Coponius. 
(2.)  Marcus  Ambivius. 
(3.)  Annius  Rufus. 
(4.)  Valerius  Gratus.

Coins  (all  in  copper)  are  known  only  of  the  first  five  of  these,  and  ot 
Claudius  Felix.     Of  the  last-mentioned  Procurator  there  is  one  coin  which  is 
somewhat  peculiar  as  bearing  the  name  of  the  Emperor  Nero  on  the  obverse 
and  of  his  brother  Britannicus  on  the  reverse,  as  Caesars,  i.e.  heirs  presump- 
tive to  the  purple.     There  is  one  copper  coin  also  which  may  be  attributed, 
though  with  some  doubt,  to  the  Procurator  Marcus  Ambivius. 

(IV.)  Coins  struck  under  the  First  revolt  of  the  Jews.     Notwithstanding 


156  IV. — Coins  and  Medals. 

my  expressed  intention  not  to  introduce  matters  of  controversy  into  these  few 
pages,  it  is  well  to  admit  that  there  is  more  contention  as  to  what  coins  arc  to 
be  refen'ed  to  the  Fii-st  Revolt  under  Eleazar  and  others,  and  which  to  the 
Second  Revolt  under  Simon  Barcochab,  than,  perhaps,  on  any  other  subject 
connected  with  Jewish  numismatics.  Altliough  there  arc  many  points  of 
agreement,  yet  as  to  others  tliere  may  never  be  any  certain  mode  of  final 
determination  where,  as  Mr.  Madden  rightly  obsers^es,  "  there  is  so  little  t<j 
guide,  so  much  to  guess." 

The  First  Revolt  lasted  four  years,  and  I  jirefer  on  the  whole  to  adojjt  the 
attributions  of  Dr.  Levy  and  of  Mr.  Madden  in  respect  of  this  period.  Ou 
this  basis,  coins  are  known  of  Eleazar  the  Priest,  son  of  Simon,  in  silver, 
which  bear  the  device  of  a  vase  and  a  bimch  of  grapes,  and  on  which  he  is 
styled  jHian  ")Tr?N  (Eleazar  the  Priest),  and  the  reverse  inscription  of 
which  is  baiXy  rhay?  nnx  nJtr  (First  yetir  of  the  redemption  of  Israel). 
■Copper  coins  also  occur  with  a  bunch  of  grapes,  as  also  the  palm-tree,  and 
with  legends  similar  to  those  on  the  silver  pieces.  One  rare  silver  coin,  the 
authenticity  of  which  was  at  one  time  under  some  suspicion,  has  the  name 
of  Eleazar  on  one  side  and  that  of  Simon  on  the  other. 

Simon  Nasi  (K''t^3,  prince)  the  son  of  Gamaliel,  also  coined  money,  and 
}x)re  the  title  referred  to,  with  the  authority  of  the  Sanhedrin,  on  his  coins, 
which  occur  only  in  copjier,  and  are  similarly  inscribed  to  those  of  his  pre- 
decessor. The  devices  arc  those  of  the  vase,  the  i^alm-tree,  vine-leaf,  lyre, 
and  other  ornamental  designs.  The  inscriptions  on  the  coins  of  both  Eleazar 
and  Simon  are  in  old  Hebrew  characters,  but  slightly  varying  in  formation 
from  those  on  the  pieces  of  the  Asmonaean  princes.  There  is  one  fine  and 
rare  silver  shekel,  probably  belonging  to  this  period,  which  has  on  the  obverse 
a  representation  of  the  Beautiful  Gate  of  the  Temple,  with  the  inscription 
D?K'n"'  and  on  the  reverse  the  Ethrog  and  Lulab  (citron  and  palm-branch), 
and  the  same  inscription  as  on  Eleazar's  silver  pieces. 

(V.)  The  coins  struck  in  Rome  commemorating  the  capture  of  Jerusalem 
are  those  with  the  Avell-known  legends  of  IVD>EA,  IVD/EA  CARTA, 
JVD/EA  DEYICTA,  &c.,  and  more  properly  belong  to  the  province  of 
Roman  numismatics.  It  will  sufiice  to  state  that  they  were  struck  in  gold, 
.silver,  and  brass,  under  Vespasian,  Titus,  and  Domitian,  and  have  the  head 
of  the  Emperor  on  the  obverse,  and  generally  Judaea,  mourning,  seated  under 
a  palm-tree,  on  the  reverse.  Trophies  and  other  accompaniments  sometimes 
vary  the  design.  Those  stmck  in  Palestine  by  the  Roman  Emperors  to  com- 
memorate the  same  event  mostly  bear  Greek  inscriptions,  and  have  generally 
on  the  reverse  the  legend  lOYAAIAZ  EAAtOKYI'AZ  (Judaea  Captured). 
Some,  however,  coined  by  Domitian,  have  Latin  legends  in  the  more  usual 
Roman  style. 

(VI.)  Coins  struck  during  the  Second  Revolt  of  the  Jews  under  the 
Roman  Emj^eror  Nerva,  great  indulgence  was  shown  to  the  Jews,  and  the 
abuses  connected  with  the  collection  of  the  special  tax  levied  upon  them  were 
abolished.  In  commemoration  of  this  concession,  a  large  brass  Roman  coin 
has  on  the  reverse  apalm-tree  and  the  legend  FISCI  IVDAICI  CALVMNIA 
SVBLATA.  During  the  reign  of  his  successor  Trajan,  however,  the  chosen 
people  again  revolted,  and  the  insurrection  was  quelled  with  great  difficulty 


Introduction.  157 


and  only  after  much  bloodshed  on  both  sides.  On  Hadrian's  accession  he 
meditated  rebuilding  Jerusalem  under  the  name  of  Aelia,  and  of  dedicating 
tlie  temple  to  Jupiter  Capitolinus.  He  also  promulgated  stricter  laws  against 
tlie  Jews,  who  once  more  burst  into  revolt  under  the  leadership  of  Simon 
Barcochab  (i.e.  son  of  a  star).  It  was  during  this  revolt  that  the  famous- 
llabbi  Aklba,  a  zealous  advocate  of  Simon,  perished  at  the  hands  of  the 
llomans,  exclaiming  while  being  torn  into  pieces  Avith  red-hot  pincers,  "  Hear, 
0  Israel,  the  Lord  is  our  God,  the  Lord  is  One." 

Simon  issued  coins  with  the  old  Hebrew  characters,  both  in  silver  and 
copper.  His  silver  shekels  of  the  1st  and  2nd  year  are  very  rare,  and  both 
have  the  name  of  jIUJSB'  (Simon)  on  the  obverse,  with  a  representation, 
somewhat  conventional  in  its  form,  of  the  Beautiful  Gate  of  the  Temple,  and 
on  the  reverse  an  Ethrog  and  Lulab  and  D?B''1"I''  ni"in?  (The  Deliverance  of 
Jerusalem).  A  rare  shekel  of  the  2nd  year  exhibited  in  the  collection  of 
the  Rev.  Churchill  Babington  has  on  the  obverse  a  much  more  elaborate 
representation  of  the  Beautiful  Gate  with  the  inscription  D7C^1"l\ 

Simon's  smaller  silver  coins  are  of  numerous  types,  and  were  most  often 
struck  over  denarii  of  Trajan  and  other  Emperors.  They  have  his  name 
sometimes  with  and  sometimes  without  a  bunch  of  grapes  on  the  obverse, 
and  the  design  of  a  vase,  lyre,  palm-branch  or  two  trumpets,  with  the  usual 
legend  "  The  Deliverance  of  Jerusalem  "  on  the  reverse.  His  copper  pieces 
are  of  various  sizes  ;  the  larger  ones  with  the  palm-tree  and  his  name  on  the 
obverse,  and  a  vine-leaf  and  "  The  Deliverance,  &c.,"  on  the  reverse,  the 
smaller  with  the  same  or  similar  inscriptions,  and  with  varied  designs  of  the 
palm-tree  or  branch,  lyre,  bunch  of  grapes,  vase.  Sec. 

After  Simon's  death,  which  took  place  on  the  capture  of  Bethar,  Hadrian 
carried  out  his  design  of  building  a  new  city  on  the  site  of  Jerusalem,  and 
which  thenceforth  was  called  Aelia  Capitolina,  and  became  a  Eoman  Colony, 
The  Jews  were  practically  excluded  from  the  City,  which  issued  its  coins  iit 
the  way  usual  among  the  Eoman  Colonies  of  the  period. 

The  record  of  Jewish  numismatics,  pure  and  simple,  may  therefore  be 
said  to  end  here,  and  it  will  be  perceived  that  the  series  of  coins  described  is 
not  a  very  long  one.  It  may  be  added  that,  however  interesting  they  may  be 
from  an  historical  point  of  view,  the  Jewish  coins  are,  with  one  or  two 
exceptions,  far  from  being  of  artistic  worth,  and  are  generally  (particularly  in 
the  case  of  the  copper  pieces)  in  an  inferior  state  of  preservation.  The  want 
of  artistic  design  may  with  justice  be  attributed  to  the  national  objection 
against  any  representation  of  living  forms  or  symbols,  and  which  extended 
oven  to  the  representation  of  the  head  or  bust  of  the  reigning  prince,  a  rule 
which  was  infringed  only  by  the  later  Herodian  Princes,  A  similar  objection 
to  the  bust  of  the  reigning  authority  appearing  on  the  coins,  but  founded 
upon  very  different  grounds,  existed  among  all  the  ancient  Greek  natiouKS 
until  after  Alexander's  time,  but  the  heads  of  divinities  supplied  instead  in 
their  case  ample  material  for  the  artistic  talents  of  Greek  die — engravers 
Avliose  skill  at  the  highest  period  of  their  art  has  never  been  surpassed,  or 
even  equalled  to  this  day. 

In  conclusion,  I  will  only  warn  my  readers  against  the  numerous  counter- 
feits of  Jewish  coins  which  exist,  and  on  most  of  which  the  legends  are,  as 


158  VI. — Coins  and  Medals. 

before  stated,  in  square  Hebrew  characters,  which  never  occur  on  genuine 
pieces,  and  which  afford  most  certain  proof  of  forgery.  One  specimen  of 
such  a  forgery  is  among  the  pieces  exhibited  by  mj'self,  and  is  of  such  a 
nature  as  hardly  to  be  capable  of  deceiving  the  merest  tyro  in  numismatic 
science.

*^*  The  attribution  of  these  copper  coins  to  Simon 
Maccabaeus  is  not  positively  certain,  but  in  the  form  of 
the  letters  and  general  treatment  they  approach  nearer 
to  those  of  his  time  than  to  any  other  period.  The 
division  of  them  into  sixths  is  somewhat  doubtful,  on 
account  of  the  great  variance  of  weight  found  in  the 
various  specimens.

2534.  Medal  Commemorative  of  Asher  Lemlein. 

V  Asher  Lemlein,  a  fanatical  German  Jew  living  about  1500, 

professing  to  be  gifted  with  inspiration,  prophesied  the 
advent  of  the  Messiah  in  1503.  Becoming  aware  of  his 
having  prefixed  too  short  a  time  for  his  prophecies,  he 
stated  in  excuse  that  the  people's  sins  had  retarded  the 
appearance  of  the  Deliverer.  He  had  many  ardent 
supporters,  and  to  one  of  these  —  of  the  family  dei 
PiatelU — the  production  of  this  medal  is  attributed.  The 
medal  has  a  portrait,  presumed  to  be  that  of  the  pretender 
himself,  and  is  surrounded  by  a  long  Hebrew  inscription, 
in  which  the  initial  letters  of  the  words  give,  in  the  form 
of  an  acrostic,  the  name  of  "Benjamin,  the  son  of  Eli 
Beer,"  the  particular  member  of  the  dei  Piatelli  to 
whom  the  production  of  this  medal  is  ascribed.  The 
reverse  has  an  inscription  in  Latin  of  similar  import  to 
that  on  the  obverse,  and  the  date  D.    Ill .    M  .  (1503).

representation  of  the  Temple,  showing  a  tetrastyle-
